READ: Federal judge strikes Montana's discriminatory marriage ban
Noting that his decision might not be popular with all but that civil rights are not a popularity contest, US District Judge Brian Morris (who once served as a Supreme Court clerk for very conservative Chief Justice William Rehnquist) today brought Montana over onto history's right side. Ruling takes effect immediately:
Montana's Republican Attorney General, Tim Fox, has vowed to appeal the ruling. Or at least give it a really nasty look. Or something. It's unclear at press time.
In the meantime, a hearty congrats to Montana residents. Marriage is fantastic; enjoy it responsibly.
